Arnold Stevenson Loving Cup

project overview

Made from a bequest by a former Master of the Painter-Stainers’ Company and bearing their gilded and enamelled crest of a Phoenix. The cup is designed to hold half a litre of wine and to be easy to pass from guest to guest, using the three handles which are equally spaced around the cup. The cover supports a gilded Phoenix with splayed gilded tail feathers, rising from a red gilded fire, which was designed by Serena and modelled by Julian Cross in 2019.
